Our NCAA matchup hasn't changed either -- still M. State. That would be a tough tough tough game to pull out, not to mention EXTREMELY physical, which I don't know if we can handle after what Yale did to us.[/quote]

That might be a tough game to pull out, but if anything we'd have the edge with physical play.  MSU was not a physical team when they came to Lynah earlier this year.  We would most certainly outhit them.

Not according to PWR. In fact, objectively, they're about 6 spots too high.[/quote]The flaws in the PWR have been rehashed over and over on this board and elsewhere.  :-P

In any case, I think Colgate is a better team than their poor nonconference indicates.  (Yes, I know there's an easy counter-argument that a team is only as good as their record, but the small sample size of the NCAA schedule weakens that.)

[quote Trotsky]Cornell just doesn't have many more chance to play TUCs. [/quote]

We must be looking at different schedules.  The one I see has 6 of the last 8 RS games against TUCS, and with a win or two even the RPI game will be against a TUC.  Assuming a first round bye we'd probably play Clarkson or RPI in the weekend playoff set, and either of those would more likely than not be TUC by then.  Then the two in Albany are almost for sure TUCs.  That's about 10 out of 12 against TUCs.  Not too many other teams looking at more, if any.  Among close competitors, NoDak has only 4 of 8 in RS, BU 5 of 9, and MSU is about like us, 6 of 8.
